Beware of the bawdy Brits abroad as a team of former England football stars booze, bicker and banter their way across the continent.

In a sequel to last year’s Harry's Heroes: The Full English, retired manager Harry Redknapp coaches a team of ageing ex-Three Lions, including David Seaman, Michael Owen and Matt Le Tissier.

They’ll need to be at their very best to play a German Legends squad who’ve demanded a rematch after being beaten 4-2 in 2019. But there’ll be no home advantage this time as Harry’s Heroes face the ‘Old Foe’ in a tricky away grudge match.

Harry and assistant John Barnes are determined to whip the boys into shape with tough fitness sessions and tune-up games in France and Italy.

In the first of three episodes, the tour kicks off in France and, within hours, several of the retirees are legless in a local pub. ‘Being back on tour with the lads, it’s very hard to resist behaving like a 21-year-old again,’ admits Matt Le Tissier.

Nursing stinking hangovers, Harry’s Heroes are given a rude awakening when they take on the FC Metz Veterans Team. They’re soon huffing and puffing with exhaustion, cramping up and finally end up on the wrong side of a 3-1 scoreline.

Can the boys get their acts together and exorcise the demons of England’s infamous heartbreak at Euro 96, when the Three Lions lost to Germany in the semi-final?

‘This is my team’s chance to heal old wounds,’ says Harry. ‘They’ve still got pride, but it’s whether their legs are still willing – that’s the problem.’
